The First Week Numbers for Logic's 'Everybody' Are In

Logic makes a huge splash on the Billboard 200 chart with his new album Everybody. His third studio release debuts at No. 1, moving 247,000 album-equivalent units. A majority of that was in traditional sales (196,000).

By comparison, Logic's debut album, Under Pressure, bowed at No. 4 in its first week with 72,000 album-equivalent units sold. His sophomore release, 2015's The Incredible True Story, moved 135,000 units in its first week. He's nearly doubled up in album units at each release. It'll be interesting to see what his next (and final album) will do in terms of sales.

Complex's latest cover star spoke about the inspiration behind Everybody. "When I started creating this album two years ago, it was before my other album was even out," he said. "I was writing, and it just so happened that a lot of the subject matter I’m discussing on this album, which is the fight for equality of every man, woman, and child regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation—because I believe that we are born equal, but we are not treated equally—I’m just here to say, 'Just be a good person, and really respect others.'”
